Islam vs Christianity
Being a person who tries to look at and treat all persons equally, after reading the article, I found it most disturbing that this type of abusive action happens all the time. I will discuss in this report, the association of words and actions from a social diversity perspective. I will cover four areas of social diversity, which is based on what was discussed so far in our class. These areas are discrimination, stereotyping, power, and defiance. I will highlight how the actions of the New Jersey State Police displayed classic examples of racial profiling through the use of discrimination, stereotyping and abusive power. In return, I will show examples of how these actions prompted defiance. In the article "The Sordid Tail of the New Jersey Troopers", There were several examples of abuse which was a classic example of discrimination. On page one, Judge Robert E. Francis stated that the state troopers practiced "selective enforcement" by stopping and searching drivers solely on the basis of skin color. This fits right into the definition of discrimination, which is the act of differential and unequal treatment of other g
There is no excuse for persons of authority to single out minorities for the sole purpose of discrimination. On page two, an example of discrimination sited was in 1998 troopers shot up a van carrying four young Black and Latino men. The report also stated that over a five-year period, over seventy seven percent of the people searched were Black or Latino. There were more examples that also demonstrated how the troopers were discriminating against Black and Latino drivers. It stopped traffic by slowing it down to a crawl. Finally, though all the abuse and discrimination, defiance appears. This does not explain all actions nor does it make it justifiable. One page two, in 1997,after police brutalized a Haitian immigrant, massive protest broke out across the Hudson River in New York City. The medics proceeded to take off all his clothes. The article indirectly identifies areas of abusive power. On page one, Judge Robert E Francis, noted that the state police were trained using videos where drug dealers were portrayed overwhelmingly by Black and Latino actors. On page six, it emphasizes that racial profiling has continued since the days of slavery. I now have a small idea of why minorities distrust authorities. Although some persons were arrested, these were considered peaceful protests. On the same page, after the shooting of the van, a dual protest took place.
